Using Social Media and Content to Build Your Personal Brand and Land Your Next Job - Digital Summit Atlanta, May 2018

Editor's Notes

  1. My goal is not to use a single ackronym in this presentation. That’s hard to do. Marketers can actually talk in complete senteces using only ackronyms.
  2. I had a great run. They paid me well and put me in a lot of leadership programs. But, I couldn’t get promoted.
  3. How I was being defined by recruiters and hiring managers: A Mid-level marketer An overpaid mid-level marketer
  4. Having a strong personal brand was good for my company -rebranded the company -targeting sales and marketing -I had a strong brand in that market which helped sell our solutions
  5. 3 years Company experienced record growth $40 million series C
